Leonardo.Ai vs PixAI (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Leonardo.Ai if

• Fits if you want images, short video and 3D models under one account
• Works for people who finish designs in Canva and want images sent there

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want everything unlimited, as the slow queue covers selected Leonardo models only and partner models always cost tokens
• Tight if you might cancel, since rollover tokens are lost when you do; Teams plans need 3 seats and sell no top-ups
• Pricey if you buy on iPhone, where the plans run $15.99 to $79.99
• Watch out: the web prices come from a third-party summary of June 5, 2026, as Leonardo's own page turned our reader away
• Skip it if you want private images for free, as free-plan images are visible to all Leonardo users

Pick PixAI if

• Fits if you make anime or manga art
• Works for people who want to train a LoRA

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want predictable costs, because credit use depends on model, size and quality
• Tight if you stay free, as video, Turbo Mode and extra LoRA slots are paid
• Watch out: purchases are final and non-refundable unless the law says otherwise
• Watch out: accounts are for people aged 18 or over

Leonardo.Ai

• Web prices come from a third-party summary of June 5, 2026, as Leonardo's pricing page turned away our reader. The iOS app sells the plans for $15.99 to $79.99.
• Unlimited generation starts only after tokens run out, in a slower queue, and covers selected Leonardo models only; other partner models always cost tokens.
• Top-up tokens need an active individual plan and are not sold on Teams plans; rollover tokens are lost if you cancel.
• Private generation needs a paid plan; free-plan images are visible to all Leonardo users.

PixAI

• Video generation, Turbo Mode and extra LoRA slots are for paying members only.
• There is no fixed price per image: credit use depends on the model, size, batch and quality settings.
• The terms make all purchases final and non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise.
• Accounts are for people aged 18 or over, and an account is needed to generate.

Leonardo.Ai

Own and partner models

Leonardo's Lucid and Phoenix image models sit beside partner models such as FLUX, GPT Image, Veo and Kling, each with its own token cost shown before you generate.

Video with start and end frames

Make clips from text or images, set start and end frames on supported models, and use models that add sound effects and dialogue.

3D generation

Turns an image and up to five reference views into a downloadable 3D model, with choices of mesh type, quality and material.

Editor, canvas and upscaling

Change an image by describing the edit, inpaint or extend it on a canvas, turn sketches into images live in Realtime Canvas, and enlarge results with the Pro Upscaler.

Edit in Canva

Send a generated image to a Canva account in one click and keep designing there. Available to individual users, not Teams.

Token rollover

Unused monthly tokens on paid plans move to a rollover bank holding up to three months' worth, spent after the month's fresh tokens.

PixAI

Community models and LoRAs

Generate with more than 1.8 million community models and LoRAs as well as PixAI's own anime models such as Tsubaki.3.

LoRA training

Train your own LoRA on a character or style. Members get 3 to 10 basic trainings a month at no credit cost, depending on plan.

Image and text to video

Members can animate an image or a prompt into a short video; Plus and Premium add a private mode for video generation.

Edit in chat

Reference Pro and the Mio.2 assistant change an image from a plain description, such as a new outfit or pose, and can make comics.

Turbo Mode

Members generate in Turbo Mode, which PixAI says is 7.6 times faster, without extra credit cost.
